People can stroke my cat (oooher) however if I was local I would not want grubs fingers anywhere near him haha! Although to be fair my cat is scared of strangers. Our old cat was stolen by a little girl on the next street , she was adamant our cat was hers (she was 10) and we had to give the parent PROOF the cat was ours - ridic ! The parent’s finally admitted it was our cat (no tit!) and gave us her back, my sister was ready to break in and steal the cat back haha!
Similar thing happened to our family about 20 years ago. Noticed our cat was putting on weight then one day came home with a different collar! Went round and they tried to convince us our cat obviously preferred them to us, well most cats will accept any food, even from strangers. Then they moved house and took our cat with them
still hurts even after 20 years.
Regarding Trump - i am a Labour supporter through and through but will happily converse with those who support/think otherwise, yes it can be difficult, one of my best friends is a UKIP supporter, but having different opinions present in your life is important for growth. If her views on Trump are intelligent and informative, she shouldn't have a problem engaging with his supporters.
